Hard to believe it but it's true:

The Cubs once again are in first place in the NL Central, holding on precariously to their one game lead over the Brewers. Just three games back are the St. Louis Cardinals, poised to make up for lost time in hopes of claiming another championship in the Central Division...things are shaping up to be lovely in this particular neck of the NL woods & with over a month or so of baseball left to play before the regular season is officially over & done, anything can happen. Chicago knows this. Milwaukee knows this. St. Louis does as well.

Well, what of the ChiSox? Eeeee...they're roughly a dozen games behind the division-leading Indians; them good ol' Detroit Tigers are just one & a half games back last time I checked. And of course, nobody should count out the Minnesota Twins just yet either. If the White Sox do believe in miracles, they've got their work cut out for them & tons of catching up to do just to make a wild card appearance...too much to ask this late in the running.

A tale of two ballclubs, two leagues, two diverging paths they're taking as this season is winding down. But when it comes to the world of baseball in Chicago, things don't get any better than this. And of course, I can't help but say "Go Cubs!!"
